Paksuseid

Paksuseid is an Estonian noun form derived from the word paksus, which means thickness or density. It is the partitive plural form used when referring to an unspecified quantity of thick things or layers. The form is typically encountered in descriptive or technical writing, such as geology, material science, or textile description, where multiple thick layers, chunks, or masses are discussed.

In grammar, paksus belongs to a class of nouns ending in -us. The standard plural nominative is paksused, while the partitive plural is paksuseid. The choice between nominative and partitive depends on the grammatical function and context, for example when speaking about an indefinite amount or when negation or certain quantifiers apply.

Use of paksuseid tends to be practical and technical rather than colloquial, and it appears in phrases that describe multiple thick elements, such as thick layers of sediment, dense fabrics, or substantial masses. Because paksuseid is a morphological form rather than a standalone lexical entry, it is primarily encountered in grammatical discussion or specialized texts describing material properties and physical characteristics.
